Caregiver. Proofreader. Musician. Badger at the teddy bear's picnic. Antifascist, anticapitalist; but I repeat myself. I don't know if love is guaranteed going to save us, but I'm pretty sure it's the only thing that might.

To make this point even clearer, not that it should matter, but it's never just transphobia. There isn't a single transphobe alive who otherwise shares your nice views. I dare you to name a single case where that's true.
An antifascist popular front and transphobia are incompatible. A big tent that includes transphobes isn't a big tent, it's a tent with a hole in the roof.

Bitcoin was invented 16 years ago. If crypto provided any utility beyond buying drugs online, creating a new form of gambling or indulging Libertarian anti-state fantasies, it would have broken into the mainstream by now.
Fed Kashkari still hating on crypto: "It's still basically useless for consumers. I mean, there's, there's nothing you can do with Bitcoin or a stablecoin that you can't already do with Venmo or with your traditional banking products, other than circumventing banking regulation."

Just a reg'lar feller with Nazi tattoos and the wherewithal for medical tourism in the middle of his alleged senatorial campaign, real man-of-the-people stuff here
Things I did not need to know from a political campaign: ""Graham has great sperm," Gertner said in the video. “The infertility was something that was part of my body.”"
Graham Platner on campaign hiatus to pursue pregnancy with wife in Norway
In a video on social media, Platner said a first attempt at IVF costs $25,000 in the U.S., while one IVF round in Norway costs $5,500.

I am not a 'sacrosanct is the sweat of your brow' guy but I do think the reason so many of the elites look to Online as a solution to problems (crypto, AI, surveillance tech, etc.) is because it doesn't require them to go anywhere or do anything or be around other people generally

The Right is correct about one thing: America *does* need a moral renewal -- even, arguably, a rededication to Christian values. But they're dead wrong about what those morals and values actually are.

For those in the comment saying this could never happen: I've had it happen to me (albeit not in the Wall Street Journal). Open editorial streams are a thing, and some people cannot resist the temptation to stick their oar in.
I wrote book reviews for a while for the WSJ well over a decade ago, and Bari Weis was my editor. One of her special tricks was to try to insert a sharp rightward slant into my essays *after* it had been copy edited, as a way of slipping her viewpoint in at the last minute.

This is a favorite question to ask. Favorite little moment of kindness in a movie? I'm thinking of Tim Blake Nelson leaving money on the sill after they steal a pie in O Brother.

In 2021, I wrote at the Bad Site re: Rush Limbaugh: "It's almost impressive to watch this man, laboring under the certain knowledge of his own impending death, not only showing no interest in rehabilitating his own reputation before the end but actually doubling down on his intrinsic loathsomeness"
